This stellar very light color 3.78 carat vivid hot pink color New Find Tanga Garnet is from the 2025 discovery of a new deposit of very fine garnets in the Tanga region of Tanzania. Reports are that this deposit is now exhausted. These garnets are apparently of a slightly different mineral type than previously discovered garnets. These are testing as a variety of Rhodolite Garnet, with the lighter colors very similar in appearance to some of the best Malaya and Mahenge garnets.
This gem has truly exquisite color and brilliance putting it sufficiently far from most typical commercially cut garnets that it is hard to express. It has been polished to competition grade at 100K grit, is better than eye clean. The cut is an original, a highly detailed designer tier modified oval cut with parameters so close to a round that it will fit most round settings with trivial modification. Since this species of garnet has rough that is already becoming scarce on the market with costs now escalating quickly, especially in the larger sizes allowing one to cut a stone of this size, we expect that gems of this caliber from this species will soon become exceedingly rare, as we saw occur with Mahenge garnets, even as only the first gems from this find are now making their way from lapidary artists to the market. Current prices have already started to rival at the size of this gem those of sapphires and other very fine garnets such as large Mahenge and top color Malayas.
Setting is 14k solid gold. Please contact for a custom listing if requesting with solid gold chain, adding $500 if desired. Pricing is for the stone and pendant without chain.
